WorldNutDaily: Tempers flaming hot over 'Gay ski week'
A promoter of tourism in a Colorado ski town has stirred up a controversy among local residents after posting a warning to potential visiting families about the city's Gay Ski Week.

Al Heirich runs an online guide to Telluride, Colo., offering information about the town, its skiing, lodging and restaurants. Telluride is a world-class ski resort with a population of about 3,000.

Heirich says promoters of the homosexual event, including the Telluride Ski Resort, have demanded he remove his warning to families on his website, claiming it is discriminatory.

The resort also asked him to remove links to its site from Heirich's site.

1. Just like the fiasco with Disney
I'll never understand their logic.

'lets boycott a company because they don't discriminate the way we want them to. '

2. Well I ain't homosexual but
what the hell, if homosexuals want to come to my place of business and spend their money, I say more more! Why the worry? Are the homosexuals going to spread their evil among the residents of Telluride? I would think it can't be any worse than the annual music festival out there and all the drugs and alcohol that are undoubtedly consumed.

3. Drugs and alcohol (and sex) are OK with RW nutjobs.
The bible (at least the pre-9/11 versions) don't have a problem with these - them crazy homos are the real problem.

It's the gay agenda that it causing all the problems.

4. This is one of the many reasons why same-sex marriage will . . .


This is one of the many reasons why same-sex marriage will eventually prevail. Because it's economically positive to allow gays to marry. It will add money to corporate America.

5. isn't free speech wonderful
My favorite part of the site is that it claims to be the official cyberguide to Telluride

I'm sure the city and the chamber of commerce like that the "official" cyberguide is warning people about those evil homosexuals



:puke:

6. I can't stand these Religious Right nutjobs.
Of course, my husband says that I do everything in my power to annoy them. He might be a little correct ...

7. He's an idiot
He goes on and on about how "he has no opinion" but then talks about events that "celebrate and promote the homosexual lifestyle."

Nobody who actually knows any gay people uses that sort of terminology, that's boilerplate lifted "straight" out of the right wing's smear book, especially the "promote" part.
